Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In this case, the circumstances of [Wilson's] contact with the jury were considerably different from the contacts in Turner . First [there was not any evidence that he was ever] alone with the jury.... He was not singled out as "trustworthy" to enter the private realm of the jury room during deliberations. [Cit.] Both the judge and defense counsel were present to observe any inappropriate contacts between [Wilson] and the jurors. Second, the judge specifically instructed ... the jurors not to discuss the case.... Third, the contact was not continuous throughout the trial, but was limited to [slightly more than] one day.”
